verse 1
E B
when you want to make a circle, how is it done?
A E
Well you probably will start, with the radius 1
E B
Use a compass or a string, use a paper or the ground
A B
and if the radius is 1, how far did you go around?
- Chorus 1
A 1 A
It's Tau! six point two eight, yeah!
E 1 E 1 E A
it's Tau, six point two eight three one eight
E 2 3 4 E B E
five three oh seven, one seven nine five eight
- Verse 2
E 4
If you pick a certain distance, and you pick a certain spot
A E
and you put the two together, then what have you got?
E 4
it makes a very special shape, and now you are the inventor,
A
if you pick all of the points a certain distance from your center,
4 E A
and you got a great collection, and it is a great invention,
E 4 E
and it makes a lovely circle, well depending on dimension,
E E E
that makes, one, two, three
E
and there's four and even more.
4
but for a circle, and other circles, if you take the distance and compare.
- Chorus 2
A 1 A
It's Tau! six point two eight, yeah!
E 1 E 1 E A
it's Tau, six point two eight, three one eight
E 2 3 4 E B E
five three oh seven, one seven-nine-five-eight
A B A B A
six four seven, six nine two five two eight.
- Verse 3
E B
I know what you are thinking, what about that other guy?
A
the one that's sometimes pronounced "pee".
E
and it's sometimes pronounced "pie"
E 4 B
I mean it's fine when you are building, but it does not belong in math
A
all the equations make more sense when you use taw or you use taff
4 E A E
and while you get the same answer, no matter which way.
E 4 E
you get further from the truth when we obscure what we say
E E E
and know it now makes sense.
E
when it's beautiful and pure
4
but please don't make it ugly with your bad notation and awful curriculum.
